UK Celebrity Simon Cowell Broke Back Falling Off Electric Motorbike Not an eBike

August 12, 2020 - Media reports have wrongly stated that British music mogul, Simon Cowell, broke his back in the courtyard of his Malibu home falling from an electric bike. In fact, he was riding an electric motorbike with a top speed of 60mph reports Forbes.ca.

Cowell fell from the high-powered machine, an imported SWIND EB-01 electric motorbike, which has a 15 kW motor and retails for £16,000+. The 60-year-old tweeted “Some good advice… If you buy an electric trail bike, read the manual before you ride it for the first time. I have broken part of my back. Thank you to everyone for your kind messages. And a massive thank you to all the nurses and doctors. Some of the nicest people I have ever met. Stay safe everyone Simon.”

Most e-bikes in the U.S. are pedal-assisted and limited to providing power through to 32kph (20mph). In the EU, the top speed assistance allowed for most e-bikes is 25kph (15.5mph).
